18th Cent Regulator Longcase Long Case Clock

18th century
For Sale by Cross Antiques
Description

A handsome 18th Cent Regulator by Norman MacPherson, Edinburgh. He is listed as working there from 1764 to 1784.

The smart architectural style case is in solid mahogany. The hood has fluted columns with Corinthian capitals and a brass bezel.

The good quality single train regulator movement has a dead beat escapement and Harrison maintaining power. It has a nice silvered dial signed by the maker and a large seconds dial. As a regulator it has a wooden pendulum rod to cut down any inaccuracies associated with temperature changes that can effect a metal rod. It also has a brass cased weight.

The case is in good condition with only minor knocks associated with age and use.

The movement is in good working order and keeping good time.

There is some packing under the seat board but this is probably due to the seat board being replaced at some time.

There is a letter dated 1912 attached to the inside of the door with details of the maker.

Free local delivery (50mls), national and international delivery arranged at cost.

FAQs

A regulator longcase clock is a tall, weight-driven pendulum clock produced with a high-precision movement. During the 18th century, these clocks served as the accurate timekeeping standard against which other clocks and watches were set.

Georgian longcase clocks were primarily crafted with solid and veneered hardwoods, particularly flame mahogany, walnut, or oak. The internal mechanisms were constructed from brass, steel, and cast iron, while dials featured engraved brass or painted iron.

Authentic pieces display hand-cut joinery, original weight-driven movements, period-correct dial engraving, and natural age-related patina on the timber and metalwork. Regional maker signatures on the dial face also assist in verifying provenance and period accuracy.

A longcase clock serves as a focal architectural piece when placed in an entry hall, stairwell landing, or formal study. Positioning the dark timber frame against neutral walls highlights its silhouette and craftsmanship.

Keep the clock positioned away from direct sunlight, radiators, and damp draughts to prevent timber warping and finish degradation. The mechanical movement requires periodic lubrication and servicing by a qualified horologist every five to seven years.
